Due to recent developments, the Baldwin Wallace College Research Team has decided to expand our research study. The original concept of the study was to find answers as to why secondary educators stay in the teaching field for more than 20 years. However, due to the overwhelming response from participants and observers of the study, a new more significant development has revealed itself. Our research team is now progressively moving towards the development of a significant grounded theory for a qualitative-quantitative study. More details on this new development will be shared in the upcoming weeks on our website. Our research team is still accepting surveys from Secondary Teachers with more than 20 + years of experience. The data collected thus far, and in the future will be a factor in the overall study. The deadline for the completion of our online survey is November 4, 2004. I urge any secondary teacher with 20 + yrs of experience to take the survey. The survey consists of ten questions and no personal data has to be given. The data from the survey is directly sent to the researchers. The survey can be taken in eight different languages included English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Japanese, and Chinese.
